Tesla set to wind down production of Cybertruck

It looks like the end of the road for the Cybertruck.

Elon Musk said Friday that Tesla will wind down production of the vehicle at its factory in Austin, Texas — the only plant that makes the polarizing truck.

The change will start “around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production,” Musk, Tesla’s CEO, posted on his social media platform X.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Tesla plans to switch Cybertruck production to another factory or phase it out entirely, though the Cybertruck’s lead engineer, Wes Morrill, appeared to suggest that the vehicle had reached its end.

“Cybertruck was an incredible technology development platform and lives on through Cybercab,” Morrill posted on X.

The announcement comes at the end of a bruising week for Musk, who has often described the Cybertruck as his favorite vehicle. On Tuesday, he saw the nearly $500 million in campaign contributions he made in the US midterm elections go for naught amid a resounding defeat for Republican candidates.

The subsequent sell-off in AI stocks battered shares of Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX), his two public companies, both of which fell more than 12% in the first two days of trading since the midterms. That has decreased Musk’s net worth by $113 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, although he is still by far the richest person on the planet. That two-day drop alone is nearly the net worth of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose holdings equal $123 billion.

Fans of Tesla and Musk loved the Cybertruck’s distinctive design. But its social media critics thought otherwise, referring to it as “dumpster chic,” and the vehicle was ultimately an underperformer.

At Tesla’s 2023 shareholder meeting, Musk said that his “reasonable guess” was that Tesla would be making 500,000 Cybertrucks a year. While Tesla has never broken out its sales of the Cybertruck separately, the company has reported sales of “other models” this year at fewer than 37,000. That metric is for cars other than its best-selling Model 3 and Model Y, and includes sales of Tesla’s discontinued Model S and Model X.

Ugly car with no replacement parts and zero second hand value

With even less build quality, a total waste of money.

I hope that car doesn't become a liability to those who already have it...

I dont even like the car. It looks like something we should not mention the name

It's because he knows that his friend Donald Trump has been rendered powerless after the mid-term elections and can no longer support his loss making ventures with government subsidies

Dis car is exact example of wat we call money miss road...

I rather use the money to get 100 keke

You can't understand a product, if you're not the target audience.

As they should.
The vehicle is ugly anyways.

I wonder who came up with the design idea, and why they went with it?

I'd rather buy an amour tank.

It was intentionally designed to be ugly to represent an alien kind of invasion vehicle. Watch alien movies or cyborg, and you will understand where the inspiration came from; it was never intended to look beautiful like other vehicles but to look alien and weird.

Low sales I guess!

The car has a very bad design

I pity those who already have it, how will they get spare parts?

Glad i am not going to seeing that Ugly Metal Again

It's a very useless car with a very ugly design. Those with that car will be crying by now because the parts isn't in the market and it has zero second hand value

The Cybertruck has more space for you to carry more food such as bags of rice and beans

I hope it does.
It'll serve as a lesson to them.

Worst car ever produced.

Well, he is shutting down his Texas operation anyway since Democrats are going to tax the hell out of him.

I see him running to Argentina .

And it is stupendously expensive.

I prefer an amour tank to annihilate bandits I come across.

A car with nothing really! Good riddance

Plenty poor minded people above condemning what they know nothing About.

You no get bicycle, okada, or keke Marwa, no to talk of car.

If he likes, let him run to South Africa. He’s worth over one trillion dollars.

APC can never let una see better thing follow am. That groundnut money no dey let una look well. Everything na condemn. So una wey no get shishi dey condemn motor wey una never see physically for una life.

I knew they were going to halt production and that's why I didn’t buy

US NASDAQ just shaved off $ 2.4 Trillion dollars this past week and it's going to get worse next week.

Elon probably dropped to less than $800bn

Your oga said “na statistics we go chop” in 2023. How come you are searching such information? Abi you wan go hug the money from the man hand?

Oga, he is still the richest person in the world even with that. APC supporters are in the bracket of the poorest people in earth.

Elon Musk uses his wealth to improve humanity. Very soon, you will have Blindsight in the market. A device to help the blind see. He’s all over the place. He’s Starlink is loved everywhere and used by nations all over the planet. Where do you stand as an APC supporter? Oga, which one has your party done for you and Nigerians. No be only poverty and hardship una dey spread, come dey glorify am?

Why criticize a vehicle that you neither know how it works nor physically seen? Which kind poor man talk and thinking be that?

“Those with that car will be crying by now…”.
You no get am. You no fit but am. You no get bicycle spoke. You no get okada, not to talk of keke Marwa or plan to buy car. Na only phone and data dey your hand.

Leave complain for who get car. Na their car, as dem like dem do. If you want to be mechanic or spare parts dealer, no hide. Go tell them.
